Rainy Sunday Blues

Another rainy day in the 'burg. It's rained everyday for the past 4 days although it's not been steady. Had a wonderful day yard sailing yesterday. Someone had advertised "cake pans" so I got there early and picked up 2- 16" pans, 1- 14", 1- 12", 1- 10", 2 (new) + 1- 6", 3- 4.5" round pans and 1-8x3" square pans for a total of 12 pans for $25. They are all professional Wilton pans used by a women who used to do cakes for a living. Just think, 2 weeks ago all I had were 3- 8" rounds then I got the 4 piece set and the 12" rounds at Michael's with 50% off coupons and gift cards I'd been given. I'd say I have enough that I won't have to use the same pan twice trying to get the cakes done. I'm doing my last non-paid wedding cake in November.

So here we were out yard sailing and I knew there was something else I was looking for and low and behold it just appeared, a large T-Fal deep fryer, $3, which I couldn't pass up. I had made up the mix for zucchini cakes. They're a mock crab cake that are basically vegetarian. They'd be vegan except there's egg in them. In the end I cleaned it up and but didn't use it though I will soon.

I've been experimenting with medieval dough recipes. I found one that was ok, after it baked I poured honey over it and topped it with Cinnamon and sugar. The experiment turned out ok. I also made up a redacted recipe that called for ricotta, rosewater and honey. Having everything other then the ricotta on hand I headed to the store and played with the recipe a bit. LOVE IT! I can't wait to set it out on the dessert table during our October event.
